Grandville

Grandville, otherwise Jean Ignace Gerard (1803-1847), a French caricaturist, first gained fame in 1828 by his clever drawings of men with animal's faces, thus satirising most human weaknesses. Other similar works were Animaux Parlants, Cent Proverbes, Fleurs Animees. He also produced some political caricatures, and illustrated La Fontaine, Robinson Crusoe, and Gulliver's Travels.
